A zapper is
defined by Dr. Hulda Clark as a battery operated DC pulse (positive
offset) generator with an output amplitude of 5 to 10 volts (open circuit)
and a frequency between 10 Hz and 500KHz (10 to 500,000 pulses per
second), with a current limited output. The Auto-Zap zapper puts out 2500
DC pulses per second with full 9 volt battery voltage, with a 1000 ohm
current limiting impedance.

What does a zapper do? How does it
work?

According to Dr. Clark's research and our personal experience,
the tiny zapper current subtly energizes the bloodstream. This enables the
body to "take out the trash," including parasites large and small,
bacteria and most viruses. It happens quickly, in about an hour. The white
blood cells digest the dead invaders and they are flushed out via the
kidneys.

Yes. Zappers have been used by
hundreds of thousands of people of all ages for several years, with no
harm reported. You may feel worse at the start as the parasites die off,
but this is usually gone within ten days. Dr. Clark recommends against
using the zapper early in pregnancy.

Should I still take the
herbal parasite cleanse if I have an Auto-Zap?

You certainly may if
you wish. The black walnut tincture is good for clearing your gut quickly.
With the zapper alone it takes longer. If you have a serious concern, by
all means take the herbs as well.

Are the kidney and liver
cleanses safe if I'm zapping?

Yes.

What are your
recommendations for the use of the Auto-Zap zapper?

Dr. Clark
recommends daily use for the first month, with regular use after that. I
use it every other day for maintenance. Our instructions cover other
application hints, and we are as near as your phone with toll-free support

Can you give me a list of ailments/detoxifying/general health
maintenance for which this machine is suitable?

See Dr. Hulda Clark's
book, "The Cure for All Diseases," for a full listing. Her basic
conclusion is that the zapper is an excellent general tonic and
prophylactic (preventative) tool.

Why are some "zappers" cheaper
than the Auto-Zap?

Because you get what you pay for. The Auto-Zap is a
fully automatic, rugged, efficient unit with a 100% money-back guarantee.
It is a lifetime purchase, not a disposable.

Why don't you
supply wrist bands?

Because they do NOT work. We tested them five
years ago and found them inadequate, and the latest versions are no
better. There are three problems with wrist bands:

1. Inadequate contact area: they contact best at the outer and inner edges of the wrist, not on the flat top and bottom areas. Handholds and foot pads give much larger contact area.
2. Inadequate contact pressure: the straps cannot press hard enough to firmly contact the top and bottom of the wrist, or they would cut off circulation to the hand.
3. Inadequate moisture to ensure good contact: it is very difficult to keep the wrist band contact area moist for the duration of the zapping session. Dr. Clark recommends keeping damp paper towel layers between skin and contact to prevent ions from being driven into the skin. This is very inconvenient to do with wrist bands.

By the way, if you decide to buy a wrist band unit, be
aware that most cannot connect to hand holds or foot pads if you want to
use them. Their wires end in snap fasteners instead of alligator
clips.

What are foot pads?

Foot pads are a pair of contact
plates about 3"x 12" made from flat sheet metal (22-26 gauge) or even
aluminum kitchen foil. They are held by the copper alligator clips on the
Auto-Zap wires. Fold a paper towel on top of each pad, then dampen them
with about a teaspoon of warm water. Place your feet on top of the plates
and hit the Start button. Foot pads work well as you use a computer, read
or watch TV.

Do you supply footpads?

We do not supply foot
pads with the Auto-Zap because they cost more to ship than to obtain at a
local sheet metal shop. Use aluminum foil to test the concept, and for
traveling.

Why does the Auto-Zap use 2.5 kHz when Dr. Clark's
circuit produces 30kHz?.

Because it works better at 2.5 kHz. I
confirmed this in October 1995 with Dr. Hulda Clark herself. The lower
frequency allows deeper penetration of the current due to the "skin
effect." Our tests with a local naturopath have shown a marked increase of
effectiveness against fungi, with no sacrifice in effectiveness on other
critters. If you check the top of page 15 in Dr. Clark's books, you will
see that the frequency range she gives for zapping is from 10Hz to 500,000
Hz.

A friend wrote, "I am interested in your zapper, but I read
another zapper info page and got confused. He claims that using an AC
adaptor (and his power supply circuit) is better than using a battery.
Help."

Dr. Clark is adamant about battery power for safety, and I
agree. The higher output voltage is not an advantage either, according to
Dr. Clark's research: she specifies 5 to 10 volts. On page 15 of her book, The Cure for All Diseases, Dr. Clark states:

"Subsequent
testing showed it [the zapper effect] was not due to some unique design,
or special wave form produced by the device. It was due to battery
operation! Any positively offset frequency kills all bacteria, viruses and
parasites simultaneously given sufficient voltage (5 to 10 volts),
duration (seven minutes), and frequency (anything from 10 Hz to
500,000 Hz)."

I think the reason some like AC power is that it
stops battery life complaints from customers.

We took a different
route. We made the Auto-Zap so efficient it goes a year and a half on one
9 volt battery if used one hour a day.

What is the best time to
zap ?

Any time is fine. I usually zap with foot pads first thing in
the morning as I read my Bible. Sometimes I put the foot pads under my
desk at the computer. If I am too busy in the day, I grab the hand holds
as I go to sleep and hit the Start button. Find a way that works well for
you.

How does the Auto-Zap compare to the others available? I am
having some difficulty selecting the most appropriate model.

The
Auto-Zap goes much farther than the circuit in Dr. Clark's books (which is
in 99% of the zappers offered on the Web). I use and recommend the
Auto-Zap zapper for these
reasons:

it has a fully automatic timer built in to do the 63 minute cycle recommended by Dr. Clark

the lower frequency penetrates deeper

it gives over 500 hours of zapping
on a single 9 volt alkaline battery: about 10 times longer than the
competition (18 months if you use it one full cycle per day)

it has a failsafe sensor LED light to show when you have good contact and proper connections

it is ruggedly built with full protection against static electricity and reversed battery damage

it has a beeper to tell you when it is turning the pulse output on and off (so you don't have to hold the hand-holds during the 21 minute rest periods)

it has an automatic battery load test every time you turn it on

No other zapper offers
all these features.

We give a full 5 year warranty, with a one month
money back guarantee. And our price is right. Can I use the
zapper while taking antibiotics?

Yes, it does not conflict.

What is "plate zapping"?

Recently Dr. Hulda Clark has
announced that the effect of the zapper can be intensified and targeted to
specific parasites in specific organs by "plate zapping." A box with two
metal plates on top (sold by Self Health Resource Center as the
"ZapPlate") is connected to one lead of the zapper and slides of the
parasite and target organ are placed on the plates. See the next question
for more details. The ZapPlate is simply two metal plates on a plastic
box, wired together, with an RCA phono jack on the side. You can make your
own: it is just like the Syncrometer plate box supplied with the
Syncrometer from Self Health and described in the book.

Place the
stomach tissue slide on one plate and the bacteria slide on the other.
Then grab the handholds and zap as usual. According to Dr. Clark, the
zapping ("plate zapping") is now targeted more effectively to the
bacteria in the stomach.

If a known pathogen was in a known
body part, would it work better if the hand-holds were nearer that body
part instead of hands?

It might. Dr. Clark's recent work suggests that
the zapper effect can be intensified or localized by "plate zapping" - see
above.

Do you recommend using damp paper towel around the hand
holds, or to hold them as they are?

Yes, wrap them as we instruct you.
DO NOT hold the bare metal, as the electrical signal could drive metal
ions into the skin. Always use at least two layers of paper towel.

Does it hurt to put the hand-holds on other parts of the body
instead of using hands: is it as effective using it on arms, chest or
abdomen, legs or feet?

The effect seems to be systemic via the
bloodstream, but feel free to experiment. Try to get at least four square
inches of solid contact area on each contact point to prevent skin
irritation.

Do you give full instructions re frequencies used
for each health problem?

The single frequency we use is all it takes.
According to Dr. Hulda Clark's latest research, the zapper stimulates the
bloodstream and immune system in a subtle way, enabling your own body to
"take out the trash", including parasites, bacteria and most viruses. The
pulses from the zapper do not electrocute anything, as they are a safe
low-voltage and low-current signal.

Does it actually destroy malaria or merely 'stun' it for the body to remove normally?

See
above. We have had units in the tropics several times, and two doctors
with a Big-Zap in India. Users say it has cleared up or prevented
malaria
beautifully.

Does having metal anywhere in the body (such as
crowns on one's teeth) affect the benefits of using the zapper?

No, as
the zapper seems subtly to stimulate the bloodstream and immune system,
according to Dr. Clark's research.

Are there any long-term
side effects from long-term electrical current use on the body? One hears
of clusters of child cancers in areas close to major power lines, for
instance.

None have been observed or reported, as far as I know. Power
line effects are due to high strength alternating magnetic fields, while
the zapper uses very weak DC current pulses similar to natural nerve
impulses. The Auto-Zap has been used successfully with tots as young as 1
month (to deal with a nasty case of thrush in short order).

The
shiny copper pipes that you hold onto tarnished quite quickly- is that
normal? As well, how often should you replace them?

The handholds last
indefinitely. The tarnish or darkening is harmless, and does not affect
their effectiveness. You can remove it by soaking the pipes in a cup of
warm vinegar with a teaspoon of salt in it. We never do that here,
though.

What if the wire comes out of the plug that fits into
the Auto-Zap box?

The wire is easy to re-attach without tools. Just
unscrew the black plastic sleeve and slide it back up the wire. Then twist
the end of the wire together a bit and insert it through the hole in the
middle of the metal part and out the side. Push the wire all the way in,
and wrap the wire clockwise around the groove on the metal part. Then
slide the plastic sleeve back over and screw it onto the metal plug as
snugly as possible.
